Rise New York & Partners Expands Globally With Acquisition of Spaces&Creatures

Rise New York & Partners, an independent creative agency, has acquired Spaces&Creatures, an experiential studio. Renamed Artlab by Rise, the acquisition expands Rise’s capabilities in creative technology and artistic innovation.

Space&Creatures was formerly part of FlagCX, a company that was previously owned by IPG, and the new entity will move its operations to New York City.

Strategy and creative vision for Artlab by Rise will be led by Brazilian duo Edson Pavoni as global head of creative technology and Bella Nardini as global head of experience and ritual.

“The creation of Artlab by Rise is a natural expansion of the work we are already doing to design unforgettable experiences that draw global audiences,” said Rise’s partner and chief creative officer Flavio Vidigal.
